Via Crucis is one of Reinbert de Leeuw' s favorite pieces. In an interview in 2002, he said that the "A in the Fourth Station was the most beautiful note" in the history of music. In that same year, he performed for the first time the solo piano version that he would go on to feature more often in recitals. On this CD he combines that piece with La note, in a performance with his usual violinist partner Vera Beths.
